YOU WILL RECEIVE AT LEAST 10 SICILIAN BUTTERCUP EGGS (MORE IF THE GIRLS COOPERATE) THIS BREED IS CONSIDERED *RARE* ***shipping is 14.95****
HERE IS A LITTLE INFORMATION:
The Sicilian Buttercup Chicken is a rare chicken breed coming from the Island of Sicily, as it's name suggests. The rest of its name comes from the buttery golden color of the hens and the cup shaped combed that looks similar to a red crown or tiara on top of the chicken's head. The cup shaped cone of the Sicilian Buttercup Chicken is totally unique in the poultry world.
According to the American Standard of Perfection, the Sicilian Buttercup Chicken stock in North America came 100% from hatching eggs brought over in 1892. The conservation status of this breed is critical, but its popularity keeps this rare chicken available due to the beautiful golden plumage and unique cup shaped comb.
My personal experience with my baby's are they're very curious, enjoy being "bug slayers" lay 3-4 eggs weekly - Med sized white/buff --as pullets the eggs start small, but do grow.
If you spend time with them they are tamable (as with anybreed- JMO) though not frequently, I've had hens go broody and they make GREAT mothers.
They are pretty and unique. Hens are about 3 - 4 lbs, Roosters about 4-5 lbs.
***PLEASE READ*** Though I take special care in wrapping the box and eggs, once eggs leave my hands, I can't make ANY Guarantees on your hatch rate, due to many variables, including-but not limited to; USPS mishandling, incubation practices....just to name a few. purchasing shipped eggs is a risk which is taken on by the buyer. I will say; people have emailed with the success on their hatch from the shipped eggs. Fertility is high here, but again can't guarantee yours.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. PAYMENT DUE UPON RECEIPT OF INVOICE. PAYPAL ONLY, NO E-CHECKS. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PAYPAL EMAIL WHEN YOU PM ME SO I CAN SEND AN INVOICE. SHIPPING IS 14.95
THANKYOU
